The one thing I remember about Postel, other than the fact that he had his fingers in a lot of DNS pies, is be liberal about what you accept, be conservative about what you send. It’s a notion that creates undo burden on the implementor, because it places the expectation on the that you need to account for every conceivable ambiguous corner case and that’s not always the best approach when implementing a standard; and it mostly arises from the lack of adherence to the second part of that statement.
